Hey everyone. I got inspire while rereading hunger games to write an alternate ending, of what may have happened had Katniss missed catching Peeta when she shot Cato's hand. Picks up on page 336 in the paperback.

I see them both going over and try to grab for Peeta, but it's too late. They both lose their footing and fall off the horn, plummeting to the wolves.

I hear them both hit the ground, with the sound of skin crashing together. Peeta must have fallen on top of Cato. I call out to him, but I get no response. He must be passed out from shock, or injury.

I hear the mutts attack, and wait, crying, for them to fire the cannons. But the gamemakers can't do that. It's the climax of the games. I can't watch the mutts rip and claw at the two, but the noise rings in my ears, driving me insane.

Cato tries to take them on, but Peeta would be to weak for that. I hear Peeta's screams of tortured pain.

After what feels like hours Peeta's cannon goes off, prompting me to burst into a new wave of tears, while the Mutts drag Cato away.

Night falls and Peeta is shown in the sky, sparking a new wave of tears, thinking of his family crying with me, and district 12 hating my failure, my mistake in time, and grip. We could have had two return home, now it will just be me. However, around two minutes into my tears a package falls from the sky, I open it and it holds tissues. What I'd guess is Haymitch's way of saying everything will be fine.

The anthem plays and the night air chills me to the core. I realize that Peeta is still lying next to the cornucopia, due to my position blocking the hovercraft, which makes me sick to my stomach. Should I move so the can take him? Do I want to see his body? I don't know, so I just shiver in the freezing night air, watching the sky, hearing every pained scream of Cato, torturing my mind.

Eventually I take notice night is coming to a close, and try to think of things Peeta may have said if I had caught him in time.

I hear Cato's screams and just can't take it anymore. I pull out my last arrow and shoot firing into Cato's head.

The cannon blares. After a few moments it sinks in that I'm going home. I smile thinking of seeing Prim again. I slowly move down from the cornucopia so they can take away the bodies. I make sure to keep my head away from Peeta so I do not have to look at him. I make it to the lake, and look back to see the last glance of Peeta being lifted. He is full of blood, but his hair shines in the early morning light. I cry, and the voice of Claudius Templesmith rings out announcing my victory to all of Panem.
